Before going on air, he has shared his looks with his thousands of followers on his Instagram page.

He particularly caught viewers' eyes with a statement necklace and a hefty jeweled ring during commentary at the weekend.

'NBC has been asking me since Vancouver to
be a part of their team, and those conversations have been very open,' he told Philadelphia Magazine.

at.'
